Got the registration all working perfectly, but I want to display the description for a custom member property on the form as help text; I can't see a way of doing that as the MemberPropertyModel doesn't have much on it?

<div class="register-field">
    @Html.LabelFor(m => registerModel.MemberProperties[i].Value, registerModel.MemberProperties[i].Name)
    **@registerModel.MemberProperties[i].Description**  THIS BIT DOESN'T WORK
    <input asp-for="@registerModel.MemberProperties[i].Value" class="form-control" />
    @Html.HiddenFor(m => registerModel.MemberProperties[i].Alias)
    <span asp-validation-for="@registerModel.MemberProperties[i].Value" class="form-text text-danger"></span>
</div>

Hi Rob,

You could inject the IMemberTypeService and do the following

                var membertype = memberTypeService.Get("YOURMEMBERTYPEALIAS");
                var desc = membertype.PropertyTypes.First(p => p.Alias == "propertyAlias").Description;

personally I wouldn't do this :)

I would add a string to the dictionary and use that, the property descriptions are really meant for telling back office users about the property rather than displaying in the front-end

Great, thanks! That works. Went to Translation, created a dictionary item to identify the string by the property type alias (e.g. Help/Registration/nickname) and add this to the loop that gets the custom properties:
```
string help = Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("Help/Registration/" +  registerModel.MemberProperties[i].Name);

    if(!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(help))
    {
        <div class="register-help">
           @help
        </div>
    }
```
